I've been hunting for a laptop and just bought one. I noticed Windows 7 computers at Office Depot.com,HP's own site and Walmart.com. I just finished my first day playing with 8.1 and it is so stupid. I can't find where I can X out of pages.

Mindy...right click below the touchpad. Your pages/tabs should show up at the bottom of the screen. I'm learning windows 8.1 too. Ugh!
ETA...I've added a wireless mouse which is making everything so much easier!!! Not as sensitive as the touchpad and easier to navigate.

You may be able to find a refurbished laptop with Windows 7, which is what I have now. I started out with a refurbished one with XP. I've only had refurbished laptops.

I use to buy refurbished Dell desktop computers and the products were great. The computers were repaired by Dell. Today,a logistics company does the repair work. The quality of the work can be so so. I just buy new products.
The OP should look at Dell or HP's site for a Window 7 machine.

If you have the desktop with all the colorful icons, just click the "desktop" icon and you will get your old desktop back with the X to close out and everything.
So easy once you find that out. It took me 14 hours to find it and it was right in front of me. Of course, I didn't know it was there so I wasn't looking for it. LOL
Just bite the bullet and get Win8. It isn't hard at all.

There is another thread re: Windows ......... So many folks out here are having trouble with 8. Allegedly. There also was an article regarding 8 and all of the problems in our newspaper several+ months ago. I would suggest tracking down Windows 7. Less stress and aggravation. I heard that 7 's prices are skyrocketing, and very difficult to find because of all of the (allegedly) problems people with 8 are having.

I know a few seniors who are having stress related problems with 8. Wish I could help them, but it's Greek to me.

Why not learn how to use it?
